3020.0. "Change "Start Session" message." by JANUS::DBATES (Ho hum) Fri Jun 29 1990 13:02

    How can you change the message on the login screen from "Start Session"
    I know I've done this under 5.2 VMS but can't see how to do it under
    5.3 as the file has been changed. Can anyone point me in the right
    direction ?
    
    Cheers
    David

	Thanks for the reply, but I mean the message "Start Session" on the initial login screen. I don't believe you can customize this on an individual basis as at the point the message is displayed, no one has logged in. I want to set it on a cluster wide basis so it says "Start session on cluster xyz" Thanks David

	Why not just trash the DIGITAL logo and put something up that says what cluster it is instead? mike

	RE: .-1 $ define/sys/exec decw$login_background do_this_instead.com Where do_this_instead.com is a com file that executes _any_ program. Normally you'd want to run a program that will set the background pixmap to something or open a window with some other logo or such. For more on this you should check out the DECWINDOWS_EXAMPLES conference. (Press KP7 to select this conference). -=> Jim <=-
